Claire stepped into the common room. Immediatly she was overwhelmed with the beauty of it. The blue and bronze silks hung in flattering positions, the book cases full of beautiful leather bound volumes excited her, and the statue of Rowna Ravenclaw amazed her. She inhaled deeply as she felt a sense of belonging. In time she hoped to get to know her fellow 'claws but right now she was tired and in need of sleep. Way too much excitement for one day. And off she went up the stairs to the girls dormitory.
